'58’ memories 

Hobart High School 
Hobart, Indiana 


1 



1 13 year old structure takes its final bow 


This building is made of much more than the ma- 
terial things such as bricks, mortar, and concrete 
which a stranger who is only looking on, may see. 
It has a personality. 

The Hobart High School building, a part of which 
has now been standing for 113 years, holds the per- 
sonality of each of the thousands of teenagers who 
have passed through it during that space of time. 
Each generation of teenagers brought its contribu- 
tion to Hobart's high scholastic rating, its fine stand- 
ing with neighboring schools, its excellent sports 
records, and the success of our superb music depart- 
ments. 

The spirit of Yohan, an imaginary mascot, was 
created several years ago by a student who was 
"droodeling" during his study period. It is a rather 
vague story as to how Yohan became known among 
the students; the important fact is that he did. Yo- 
han has always stood for the high standards set 


forth by the faculty and administration and met by 
the students; the good sportsmanship displayed in 
the classroom as well as in the field of sports; and the 
high ideals of the future citizens of America. He 
IS the spirit of Hobart High. 

This year, the last which the students are to spend 
in this building, has been as rewarding as those pre- 
ceding it. Many students have received high honors 
for themselves and the school; some have distin- 
guished themselves in certain fields and are now 
planning ahead for their future. 

Yes, a part of this structure will soon be torn down 
only to be rebuilt so that room may be made for the 
fast-increasing enrollment; but by no means are we 
leaving behind those things for which this building 
has stood for so long. We are taking them with us 
so that they may be added to by the future students 
of Hobart High — those who will come and go but 
will never forget.

Cooking wholesome foods that taste good and have an ap- 
petizing appearance proves to be a chore for the girls who are 
just beginning in foods class. Actual work gives the students ex- 
perience in a practical way as Vicki Small, Susan Taylor, and Judy 
Pollard are finding out. Alos pictured are Martha McMurtry and 
Donna Erwin, popping a cake into the oven. The girls not only 
cook the food, they also make preparations before hand and clean 
up afterwards. 

"Read’n, writ’n, and ’rithmetic” 



"Where's my T-square?" If Tom Menefee should ask that ques- 
tion he might be in a little trouble, since the T-square is one of the 
many instruments that is used in drawing blueprints and he can't 
afford to lose it. While Tom is working on his drawings, Gilbert 
Robinson is measuring the width of a piece of metal. Each boy 
has his own desk and instruments, and he is taught how to draw 
houses, garages, and city blocks, showing the different dimensions.

Looking at the results of their efforts in the dark 
room are Danny McDowell, Sherry Casey, and 
Gloria Adams. Classes combine fun with learning 
os they develop and print pictures. 


Students learn about tropical fish and underwater vegeta- 
tion in Miss Stewart's biology classes. Here Paul Krause, Den- 
nis Terry, and Sharon Jones observe the fish in the aquarium 
while Mary Vanblaircom points them out to the class.

"London Bridge is falling downl" These boys are doing an 
exercise called "bridging." The purpose of the exercise is to 
strengthen the muscles in the back of the neck so that the boys 
won't hurt themselves when they tumble. 


"You're late again, young lady !" might be the roar heard from 
Dick Gerlich, who portrays the irate father of a teen-age girl, 
Melissa Ritenour. Irene Broda, playing the mother, calmly watches 
during the skit in family living class.

T'was a cold winter's morn in Mr. Trammel's first 
hour government class when the thermometer reg- 
istered a cool 60°. Coats and heavy sweaters 
created a somewhat warmer atmosphere. 


These building trade boys, Wayne Bauer, Norman Govert, 
Ray Flanigan, and Larry Byers, are diligently working on a 
metal table for one of the other shops. Their latest project 
is working on a portable building at Liberty School.

From ABC to XYZ students go through the alphabet of learning— 



Ready? . . . Begin I One of Miss Rebecca Todd's be- 
ginning typing classes takes a time test while she watches 
to see if they have correct posture and habits. Accuracy, 
as well as speed, is stressed while learning to type. 



Mr. Eugene Simmons points out the parts of the piano and their 
functions to his music appreciation class. This is only one phase of the 
course. Its purpose is to help students, not especially musically in- 
clined, to learn to appreciate finer types of music.

In Mr. Hamman's chemistry class, David Haynes, 
Anabel Stafford, and Beverly Carlock, look on as Jim 
Banks titrates vinegar with sodium hydroxide solution 
to find the percentage of acetic acid present. 


Learning not only goes on in the classroom, but 
also in the home. Barbara Mitchell has her lessons 
every day with her bedside teacher, Mrs. Hattie Spivy. 
Barbara will graduate with the class of '58.

Machine shop classes offer boys many chances to gain knowledge 
in the actual operation of machines. Here, learning to use the equip- 
ment correctly are Harry Sink, operating a drill press and Stewart Morlan,

Big bold letters spelling out Dick and Joyce decorated the sides 
of the car in which Dick Gerlich and Joyce Blackburn, Purple Party 
candidates, rode. Riding in the front seat are their campaign 
managers, Tom Welch and Judy Boyd. 


The horn-blowing and shouting attracted many townspeople and 
students during the lunch hour. The parade this year was a typical 
campaign parade — a lot of fun and a lot of work. 



Purple Party victorious! Dick and Joyce led into office by pep 


Bringing up the rear of the election parade was this Purple 
Party bandwagon and cheering section. As the wagon, pulled 
by a farm tractor, went through town, boosters shouted their 
favorite cheer, "Vote Dick and Joyce. Go Purple". 


"Vote Gold" decorated many of the banners displayed in the 
1957-58 Mayor and Clerk-Treasurer campaign. Much work in 
Carol Schmelter's basement provided such signs as the one shown 
here by Dave Flinn, Carol Schmelter and Vivian Selby.

Janet Ross and Loren Nibbe, qualified Gold Party Candidates, 
rode in this decorated white Cadillac which led the 1957 campaign 
parade and were escorted by a motorcycle policeman. Also in 
the car are Kay Burke and Carol Schmelter, party workers, with 


Gloria Callaway and Vivian Selby, campaign managers. Each 
party was allowed five vehicles which were covered with signs 
and crepe paper. The parade is always a high point in the 
campaigning. 


rally, colorful campaign parade, flying banners, cheering crowds 


Election time ! Colorful banners through- 
out the halls of Hobart High brought this 
year's mayor and clerk-treasurer campaign 
to the eyes of every student. A parade and 
speeches, given by the candidates on the 
qualities of leaders, helped to publicize the 
campaign. 

Juniors of last year chose Dick Gerlich and 
Loren Nibbe as candidates for mayor on the 
Purple and Gold Parties, respectively; as 
their running mates the sophomores nomi- 
nated Joyce Blackburn and Janet Ross. 

The polls were open September 16th and 
17th with over 1000 students turning out to 
vote — another step in preparation for future 
life. 

Last year the students voted in represent- 
atives from both the Purple and Gold Parties, 
but this year they went back to a straight 
ticket with the Purple Party being victorious. 

Work of the election was over for all ex- 
cept Dick Gerlich and Joyce Blackburn who 
took on the duties of mayor and clerk pre- 
siding over the student council. 



The new Mayor and Clerk-Treasurer, Dick Gerlich and Joyce Blackburn, give 
their acceptance speeches as Janet Ross and Loren Nibbe look on. The 
speeches climaxed a week of exciting campaigning and a summer of hard 
work on banners.

Gerrie Kopko, 1957 Homecoming Queen, symbolized her happy 
reign in red, white, and blue. The roses she carried were red and 
a touch of white was added in the crown of miniature white mums. 
Her formal supplied the blue in this trio of colors. 


Looking on are Gerrie's court; Mary Dault, Mary Martin, and 
Carol Diener. The queen and her court continued their reign at the 
Homecoming dance, entering to the strains of "Pomp and Circum- 
stance." 


Gerrie Kopko Homecoming Queen; Mechanical float school’s 1st 



From Bulldogs to hot dogs is a good description of the Senior float and the 
Homecoming game, because Hobart did "Grind Those Bulldogs." The huge Yohan 
was made of chicken wire stuffed with crepe paper. Yohan featured a mechanical 
arm, powered by a battery, turning the handle of the grinder into which a Bull- 
dog had fallen. 


The anxious planning of each class for 
a float and working on them behind 
closed doors, inaugurated this year's 
Homecoming activities. A bonfire, pep 
rally and snake dance aroused spirit for 
the big game against the Crown Point 
Bulldogs. The cheerleaders, preceded by 
the floats and police escort, led the snake 
dance through town. 

Seniors, Juniors, Sophomores, and 
Freshmen received first, second, third 
and fourth prizes respectively in the 
float competition. 

In a bid for their fifth straight victory, 
the team led by their co-captains, Dick 
Gerlich and Dean Eickstead, rushed 
through a "Win Big Team" sign stretched 
between a goal post. 

During the half, Gerry Kopko began 
her reign as the 1957 Homecoming 
The team honored Queen Gerry with a 
21-7 victory over the Bulldogs and at the 
Homecoming dance she was presented 
with a white autographed football.

A time to learn about leader- 
ship— Hobart High students and 
representatives from eleven area 
schools had this opportunity at 
the third annual leadership con- 
ference sponsored by the student 
council, held October 22nd and 
23rd. 

There were three sessions dur- 
ing school time and a new night 
session at which Judge Meszar 
of the Lake County Juvenile 
Court spoke, building his talk 
around the word "Chicken". 

Lana Ruegamer and Reed 
Stewart, this year's Girls' and 
Boys' State Governors, provided 
another new treat. The "Qual- 
ities of Leadership" was the topic 
of their speeches. 

Movies, discussion groups and 
other interesting speakers made 
this year's conference a success. 
The visitors from other schools 
were invited to study our con- 
ference as a step towards setting 
up conferences of their own. 




Mary Martin, chairman of the hospitality committee, is shown greeting four of our 12 
visitors from other schools. The visitors were student council representatives studying our 
conference to take back ideas for leadership conferences of their own. Hobart students 
were eligible to attend if they held any high school office.

What qualifications should a nominee for office have? This was 
answered by the panel and the audience who added many import- 
ant points. On the panel from left are Susan Shone, Gloria Calla- 
way, Loren Nibbe, Pat Evans and Bob Etter. 



Joann Clemens, cheerleader, gives her viewpoints on cheerleaders 
and pep sessions as Vivian Selby, Johanna Nolcheff, and Bob Etter 
listen. The group discussions could either discuss one of the topics 
provided by the student council or any school problem. 


Hobart City School System turned over to the seniors for a day 



Seniors stepped into the shoes of 
the school board, administrators, 
teachers and office help on May 16, 
Senior Day. This is the fifth year 
the upperclassmen have had this 
privilege. 

Classes were carried on as usual 
with all Hobart City Public schools 
participating, including the junior 
and senior high. Foreman, Mundell, 
Liberty, and Ridgeview. 

The purpose of Senior Day is to 
acquaint the upperclassmen with the 
problems of teachers and the school 
administration on a typical school 
day. 

May 9 was set aside as Visiting 
Day when Seniors visited the classes 
of the teacher whose position they 
were going to fill.

place in the library on Senior Day, helps Car*

Carnival yields money toward purchase of equipment for students 



Penny here/ penny there .... pennies were important, 
for they counted as a vote apiece to choose our Carnival 
King and Queen. Bake sales were held to raise money 
for the candidates and for the last few days of the race 
a chart showed the standings of the candidates. Each of 


the four classes were represented. From the left are Judy 
O'Neal, Vera Storey, Mick Zimny, Queen Karen Voyles, 
King Scott Wilson, Mary Kay Netzhammer, Wally Bielewicz, 
Fran Cheverton and Bob Walk. 


On carnival night the buzz- 
ing rooms of Hobart High held 
such activities as a sponge and 
basketball throw, wishing well, 
spook house, senior cafe and, 
of course, refreshments. The 
homerooms were in charge of 
the activity held in that room. 
The money that was raised will 
aid in the purchase of equipment 
for the student body. 

Karen Voyles and Scott Wilson 
were proclaimed the carnival 
royalty. 

The Seniors' Blue Nose Cafe 
held many famous star attrac- 
tions. Some of the celebrities 
(played by seniors only) were 
Elvis Presley, The Milk Bar Quar- 
tet, Lawrence Welk and his band, 
torch singers and a boy's chorus 
line, all of which attributed to 
an entertaining show. 



Have you ever seen a better looking “Girls* " chorus line? They were featured at 
the Seniors'" Blue Nose Cafe' " on Carnival night. The chorus line, who have strange 
names for girls, are from left to right: Jack Traeger, Gene Kovel, Dick Gerlich, Bob 

Gravel, Scott Wilson, Bob Bessigano, Ken Wilson and Bruce Lambert.

Looking up a few government terms ahead of time are these 
Girls' and Boys' Staters who will go to Indiana University this 
June to learn more about government. Boys will attend June 14 
to 21 and girls June 21 to 29. Above are (front row) Joyce Black- 


burn, Rose Ann Luby, Jerilynne Layer, and Jim Herrick. In the 
back row are Bob Jeffers, Larry Snyder, Pat Stone, Bill Lundy, 
Gloria Callaway, Brent Dickson, and Gilbert Robinson. 


1 2 students attend Girls’ and Boys’ States; 8 in Quill and Scroll 



Eight Hobart High students belong to Quill and Scroll, a national 
honorary organization for high school journalists. Members work 
on either the school newspaper or yearbook and funds from each 
pay for the pins each new member receives. 


Those in Quill and Scroll are Doug Spangler, Mary Martin, Larry 
Schaefer; (standing) Carol Hughes, Margaret Prentiss, Brent Dickson, 
Carol Schmelter, and Gerrie Kopko. All work on the newspaper ex- 
cept Gerrie who is photographer and events editor of the yearbook.

Varsity team chooses Pat Evans as the 1958 Basketball Queen 



Reigning as queen for the 1957-58 Basketball Season was Pat 
Evans, senior. Her all-senior court was Barbara Thomas and Donna 
Shannon. Escorts, who were members of the varsity basketball 
team, were Jim Meade, Dwain Crisp, and Chuck Vigland. 




What have we here I Hobos raiding the Senior locker room ? 
No, only the Seniors on Senior Hobo Day. Getting in on the raid 
are Bill Fowble, Sally Good, Betty Edgington, Mary Sue Miscko, 
Dave Dickson, Gerrie Kopko, and Judy Ferkinhoff. 


"Buy a carnation for Cancer," say Diane Pflughoeft and Margaret 
Rose to Renee Shannon (left) and Kathy Miko (right). This money- 
making project was sponsored by the Debuteens and the proceeds 
were sent to the Cancer Foundation.

At 8 A.M. Wednesday, February 5, Hobart 
Seniors took over City Hall. This was Govern- 
ment Day. 

Government Day had its beginning last 
year. It is a day when seniors learn more 
about their city government by doing the 
work of city officials. 

Anyone who wished to take part filled 
out an application stating their qualifications 
for the jobs they applied for. Miss Thomp- 
son, government teachers, and a student 
council committee screened the applications 
until the twenty-seven senior officials were 
chosen. 

In preparation for their work, the city 
officials, especially the mayor, clerk-treas- 
urer and councilmen, were asked to attend 
the City Council meeting on January 22nd 
to see how the business was transacted. Each 
official was to visit the person he represented 
to learn more about his job and government 
classes discussed problems which might be 
brought to the attention of the city. 


According to law — Mayor Fred Rose pointed out to 
Violet Guess, and Larry Schaefer, acting Clerk-Treasurer 
and Mayor, that jay-walking is illegal. Mayor Rose was 
very helpful to Violet and Larry on Government Day 
when explaining their many duties in overseeing the city. 


Twenty-seven seniors conduct city business on Government day 


Time to take a break I The City Council looks up from its dis- 
cussion of where street lights are needed in the fast growing resi- 
dential districts of Hobart. Members of the Council are Loren 
Nibbe, Gerrie Kopko, Jocelyn Hahn, Clyde Metz, Mayor Larry 


Schaefer, Clerk Violet Guess, Bob Etter, Joyce Burke and Pat Evans. 
The "acting" city council toured the city to view the street light 
and road situations with the regular council members, and they 
also visited the sewage plant. 



16 




Mayor Rose took the Seniors and the reg- 
ular city officials to lunch at Cressmoor Coun- 
try Club. 

Council members spent their day inspect- 
ing streets, lights, traffic signs and the sew- 
age plant. Their work was done on Wednes- 
day night after conducting the City Council 
meeting and acting as a voice for the regular 
council members. 

The boys taking over the fire department 
staged a fire drill at the high school using 
a truck and siren to make it realistic. The 
"firemen" inspected fire extinguishers, turn- 
ing in a list of outdated ones to Miss Thomp- 
son. 

Those who took part in Government Day 
felt it was a worthwhile and educational pro- 
gram, and recommended it be continued 
next year. They suggested that next year's 
officials be choosen through a primary elec- 
tion. 

Youth of today will soon be the govern- 
ing power of tomorrow. 


Is the police chief locked in his own jail ? No, he's

Scrub and rub, make that engine shine ! This was one of the 
jobs of the acting firemen on Wednesday morning. Taking time 
out to give us a smile are Paul Bartz, Lyle Davis, Nicola Didonna, 
John Link and 'Firechief' Tom Welch. 


Even city officials have sewage bills to pay. Judy Zimmerman 
collected money from Scott Wilson, city engineer, Sandra Ramsey, 
city attorney, Jennie Speer, assistant office clerk, and many towns- 
people in the course of the day in the sewage and water office.

“Showers of Stars’’ presents singing, readings, pantomimes, skits 



Dave Dickson, Master of Ceremonies, tries to entice hobo, 
Dick Gerlich, to stay for the Show, but Dick is in a hurry to 
return to the "hobo jungle" where he feels more at home I 


"You're my special angel, my little bitty, pretty 
pet," sing Nancy Bryan, Mary Kuckuck, and Barbara 
Gilbert. These girls were only three of the stars 
in the 1958 Talent Show, Shower of Stars. The 
money from the show went toward a scholarship 
for a senior. 



Oh Charlie I Oh Charlie I pantomimes Suzanne 
Seed as Dave Flinn and Sheryn Frazier proceed to

the Talent Show. 




‘Parisian Paradise” finds couples dancing beneath Eiffel Tower 


"Let's sit this one out; how about it !" say a few couples as they 
lip off their dancing shoes for a minute to take a seat beneath 
he Eiffel Tower. Pat Evans, Larry Schafer, Mary Kay Netzhammer, 
Iruce Phillips, Mary Martin, and Jim Herrick, three of the hundred 


and eight couples attending the Prom, agreed it was fun dancing 
but was sure hard on the feet I Many couples also enjoyed 
gathering around the punch bowl. 



A hundred and eight formals, cor- 
sages, and tuxedos filled Hotel 
Gary's Crystal Ballroom, Saturday, 
May 3rd at the annual Junior-Senior 
Prom. Couples danced to the music 
of Bud Pressner and his orchestra 
in a "Parisian Paradise." 

Decorations were in different 
shades of purple. Blue spotlights 
turned a six foot Eiffel Tower, con- 
structed of chicken wire and pink 
napkins, into a lavender delight. The 
mezzanine was decorated with white 
branches, ribbon confetti, and var- 
ious colors of pipe-cleaner birds in 
cages. After the Grand March, 
couples drifted to their favorite eat- 
ing places. 


Prom Royalty, Scott Wilson and Betty Edging- 
ton, walked up a white carpet to take their 
place of honor before leading the Grand 
March. Looking on are Margaret Banaski, 
Claudia Quinlan, junior class president, and 
Sandy Lea.

We Came, We Saw, We’ll Never Forget . . . 


Service clubs, social clubs, honorary organizations 
such as National Honor Society, and Student Council, 
the student governing body of the school, have always 
played a big role here at Hobart in developing the well- 
rounded and mature individual. 

These groups give us chances to become better ac- 
quainted with our fellow classmates and they help us 
to learn how to work and get along with others. Also, 
they give us certain goals to reach, and they teach us 
to accept and carry out responsibilities. 



. 



The concert band tried something 
new this year when they presented 
a special convo for the student body. 
They featured what Mr. Webb terms 
as "people music", or in other words, 
popular music. Some of the num- 
bers they played were songs from 
the New York stage play "Lil' Ab- 
ner", the COLONEL BOGEY MARCH 
from "Bridge on the River Kwai", 
PORT AU PRINCE, and THE SWING- 
ING SHEPHERD BLUES. Since this 
convocation was accepted so en- 
thusiastically by the students and 
faculty, it may become an annual 
event. 

Some of the more cultured music 
presented by the band this year 
were SYMPHONY #5 FINALE by 
Shostakovich; WOTAN'S FAREWELL 


Spring cleaning? Yes, these girls are busier than ever, giving the band portable's 
library a general cleanup. The school term is nearly over and the books, music, etc. are 
being put up for the summer. The librarians were Rita McDonald, Joyce Griesel, Diane 
Pflughoeft, and Peggy Farrell. 


Concert Band proves 


The 1957-59 Concert Band members are: Phyllis Carroll/ Margaret Mackenzie/ Carole Hughes, Donna Huston/ Joyce Griesel, Anabel 

Stafford, David Taylor, Judy Thompson, Linda Kubiak, Dee Ballantyne, Sharon Dwight, Cecelia Brown, Bob Hodsden, Darlene Paul, 
Judy Hurley, Nick Morganelli, David Thompson, Leon Edwards, Brianne Ballantyne, Susan Shone, Danial Davis, Peggy Farrell, Janice

Harold Eilts, Wilbur Regier, Charles Kelly, Richard Hamman, Cliff Sherrard, Mary Kitterman, David Lewis, Bill Fleming, Dennis Coates, 










and FIRE CHARM MUSIC from "The 
Valkyries"; COSI FAN TUTTI by Mo- 
zart, and Gold's PAVANNE. 

At each of the concerts the band 
featured several soloists. The coro- 
net soloist for one concert was Dick 
Hansen; clarinet, Carole Hughes, Bill 
Gentz on trombone and Linda Ku- 
biak, the flute. Susan Shone, who 
plays the French horn, and Dee Bal- 
lantyne, flute player, did a duet at 
the spring concert. All of these band 
members are seniors and by next 
year Mr. Webb will have to replace 
them with other talented performers. 

The band wound up their year 
with the annual tour during which 

they presented concerts in different ... . . ,

Cities. I he tour IS the long awaited this clarinet ensemble. Appearing in this quartet were Phyllis Carroll, Margaret Mac- 
high-light of the year. Kenzie, Carole Hughes, and Donna Huston. Their performances were included in the 

band s Midwest tour. Each of these girls are seniors and outstanding members 
of the band.

are: Mr. Spreister, Mr. Webb, Carol Kirkpatrick, George Smith, Greg Bogan, Donna Allen, Bob Bone, and Paul James. 







Another favorite ensemble to be given 
much credit is the flute quartet. These 
four girls were equally as busy as the 
many other band ensembles. Winning 
state recognition was also an honor for 
this quartet consisting of Dee Ballantyne, 
Linda Kubiak, Judy Thompson, and Susan 
Taylor.

1 957-58 Marching Band accents victorious football season; wins 


"Around the World in 80 Days" can be almost as fantastic an 
experience as it sounds, but when you hear this piece of music 
being played by the Hobart High School marching band it really 
has the effect of sending you that far in a very short time. 


The formation chosen by the band and Mr. Webb for this piece 
was a huge balloon ascending into space to carry the music "around 
Brickie Bowl in a split second." All of this activity by the band 
took place during the half-time of a home football game. 




"Long live the queen" is fully expressed here by the band. 
What could be more appropriate for a marching band formation 
at the crowning of a homecoming queen than the representation 
of her crown. The Hobart High School band aoes into this forma- 


tjon each year for the coronation. Directly in the center of the 
crown" the 1957-58 queen received this honor. To set the mood 
or this occasion the band chose to play the ever-popular "Fascina- 
tion." 


state-wide recognition 


Year after year the marching 
band comes up with some unique 
performances and formations. This 
year, too, they displayed the talent 
for which the Hobart High School 
Marching Band is noted. 

Commemorating Miss Thompson's 
summer trip around the world, the 
band played "Around the World in 
80 Days." Then they took a trip on 
the water as they played "Row, Row, 
Row, Your Boat." 

When the band got word of the 
new school that the students will 
move into next year, they set fire 
to the old one by means of lights 
on their hats. Meanwhile they play- 
ed "I don't Want to Set the World 
on Fire." As a fitting climax to the 
year they formed a crown for the 
1958 Homecoming Queen at the 
Homecoming game. 



Proudly looking on os the marching band prepares for one of their football 
half-time performances are Mr. Webb, the band director, and the band officers: 
Sharon Dwight, president; Carolyn Johnson, band sponsor; Darlene Paul, vice- 
president; Dee Ballantyne, secretory; and Bill Morrison, equipment manager.

A Cappella Choir’s attire takes on 



Tom Welch, Mary Martin, Kay Burke, Jocelyn Hahn, and Janet Fleming watch 
Dorinne Klawitter, secretary, as she goes over the books in search of the A 
Cappella choir's annual candy sales report. The candy sale is important to the 
choir because through it they are able to finance their annual tour. 


Hobart High School is proud of its 
A Cappella Choir and it is easy to see 
the reason why. Under the direction of 
Mr. Gene Simons, the choir has worked 
diligently to achieve a perfection which 
is not often found in a high school choir. 

After each graduating class leaves, 
A Cappella becomes somewhat smaller 
in size and at the beginning of every 
year the choir has to start all over again 
to reach its goal. This year the old and 
new members performed together for 
the first time when they sang BLESS THE 
LORD and HOW GREAT ALMIGHTY at 
the Thanksgiving Convo. 

The choir presented their annual Music 
for Christmas concert on December 12th 
in the Lutheran Auditorium. They sang 
several seasonal selections which in- 
cluded MARY HAD A BABY, PAT-A-PAN, 
and THE BURT CAROLS. 

Two candy sales were held this year 
to earn money for their spring tour. The 
students put forth a lot of effort to make 
these sales a success.

Springtime means tour-time to the Hobart High A Cappella Choir 
members. Judy Zimmerman, a member of the choir for two years, 
informs Chuck Walker, Mary Sue Miscko, Gerrie Kopko, Jim Lake, 
and Mickey Zimny, first year members, that the tour will be nothing 
short of great. Everybody is impatiently waiting for the moment 
to board the chartered buses and be on their way. 


new appearance during Spring Tour 


On the tour they stopped at Indiana 
University and several high schools to 
perform for students there. The choir 
members stayed one night in Indian- 
apolis and the other on the University 
campus. 

The choir had a new look about it on 
tour this year; instead of the familiar 
purple and gold robes, the girls were 
attired in powder blue sheath dresses. 
The fellows wore black slacks and white 
shirts with vests and black ties trimmed 
in blue to match the girls' dresses. These 
outfits were worn for novelty numbers 
only; when the students prepared for a 
religious song they again put on their 
choir robes. 

Assisting the choir in its many local 
performances and on tour were a fine 
group of officers. Donna Shannon serv- 
ed as student director, Jocelyn Hahn, 
fund-raising chairman, Kay Burke, pub- 
licity; Tom Welch, equipment manager; 
Mary Martin, historian; Melissa Ritenour 
and Janet Fleming, librarians; and Dor- 
inne Klawitter, secretary, who worked 
hard on all choir business. 



Mr. Gene Simons, director; Donna Shannon, student director; and Pat Evans, 
accompanist: these three people put in many hours of their own time toward 
planning and preparing for the success that the A Cappella Choir attains 
throughout the year.

Sextet, Madrigal Group represents Hobart in the State Contests 



The A Cappella Madrigal group displayed these beaming faces after taking a second place in the state 
contest. The members of this mixed ensemble are front row: Judy Boyd, Judy Zimmerman, Donna Shannon, 
Janet Fleming. Second row: Jocelyn Hahn, Jennie Speer, Ron Sowinski, Leon Mann. Third row: Les Porter, 

Wayne Teague, Dave Dickson, and Ed Goff. 



The Glee Club Sextet is selected from among the girl's glee club classes. They are chosen to represent the 
Glee Club in various programs and participate in the state contest held for all music students. Mrs. Willson 
spends much time outside of class helping these girls to get ready for their performances. This year's sextet in- 
cluded Carole Hughes, Sandy DeMeyer, Elaine Carpenter, Judy Peterson, Libby Furnish, and Florence Taboada, 
not shown.

Glee Club performs for seasonal Christmas and Spring Concerts 


After weeks of hard work and prac- 
tice, the Girls' Glee Club gave their first 
performance of the year at the Thanks- 
giving Convo held in Roosevelt Gym. 
They sang BLESS THIS HOUSE and LIFT 
THINE EYES. Both songs were excellent- 
ly presented and received with great 
enthusiasm. 

The Thanksgiving Convo was only the 
beginning, for no sooner had they laid 
aside the music for that occasion than 
they had to begin preparation for Christ- 
mas. They performed this time for the 
freshmen, singing SILVER BELLS, CAN- 
TIQUEDE NOEL, WE WISH YOU A MERRY 
CHRISTMAS, and IT'S BEGINNING TO 
LOOK A LOT LIKE CHRISTMAS. 

The music for the Christmas Concert 
and the Spring Concert were the big 
events of the year for the girls. Once 
again the Glee Club proves a credit to 
the music department. 



Throughout the year Carole Hughes has been a big help to Mrs. Willson, director 
of the Girl's Glee Club. They work together to present fine music to their many 
audiences. Mrs. Willson, a fan of Fred Waring's has composed many songs her- 
self. Carole, a senior, has accompanied the Glee Clubs for three years and has 
won honors in state contests.

NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY 

PRESIDENT — LOREN NIBBE 
VICE PRESIDENT - BOB ETTER 
SECRETARY -JOCELYN HAHN 
TREASURER - RON JOHNSON 
HISTORIAN - MARY KITTERMAN 

The National Honor Society is 
an honorary service organiza- 
tion. Members are selected each 
year on the basis of character, 
scholarship, leadership, and ser- 
vice. Two inductions are held 
annually, one in the spring and 
one in the fall. 

A spaghetti supper was given 
by the society at the beginning 
of the second semester honoring 
those students who maintained 
a 2.5 grade average. An honor 
certificate was also awarded by 
the society members to any stud- 
ent with a 2.0 grade average. 


The National Honor Society officers were kept busy averaging the grades of the juniors 
who are eligible for NHS next year. As Jocelyn Hahn takes the records of the juniors 
from the files. Bob Etter, Loren Nibbe, Mary Kitterman, and Ron Johnson look on.

Speer, Carol Kane, Judy Brishky. Not shown: Sandra Ramsey. 

Approximately twelve percent of the class were inducted into 
the NHS last fall.

It's hard telling what these Student Council members are up 
to now but you can be sure it is something that desirves all of the 
attention that Claudia Quinlan, Tom Hawke, Kathy Miko, and 
Sandy Lea are giving it. 


It's not easy to find the right teaching positions for everyone 
on Senior Day, but Loren Nibbe, Larry Schaefer, and Bob Etter, 
chairman of this Student Council committee, seem to have the job 
well under control. 


Student Council revises code for nominating the class officers 


STUDENT COUNCIL 

The Student Council is the 
student governing body of Ho- 
bart High. It has many duties 
and sponsors numerous worth- 
while activities, one of which is 
the annual Leadership Confer- 
ence which was held for the 
third time this year. 

They also sponsored Dress-Up 
Day and Carnation Day, Govern- 
ment Day, Senior Day and an 
annual Talent Show. The pro- 
ceeds of the Talent Show go to- 
ward a scholarship for a deserv- 
ing senior. 

The Student Council has been 
a representative of democracy in 
this school for many years. 



Hard at work setting up qualifications for class officers and revising rules for the nomi- 
nating committees are Jocelyn Hahn, Bob Walk, Larry Snyder, Sharon Johnson, and Gerrie 
Kopko. All class officers must have a 1.75 grade average or better and no student may 
run for an office for more than two years. These rules are essential for the selection of 
good officers of each individual class.

G. A. A. 



PRESIDENT - KATHY McKNIGHT 
VICE PRESIDENT - IIBBY FURNISH 
SECRETARY - JERILYNNE LAYER 
TREASURER - GERRIE KOPKO 

Sportsmanship, leadership, 
and health are the key words 
of the Girl's Athletic Association. 
Many sports, from basketball to 
archery, are enjoyed plus special 
swimming parties. A picnic at 
Dunes State Park opened the 
events of the year and served 
as an informal initiation of new 
members. 

G. A. A. girls and others 
danced in a "Hawiian Twilight" 
at the G. A. A. Semi Formal on 
November 25. 

A yearly event sponsored by 
this club is the Girl's In and Out 
Game where the girls show the 
boys their basketball skill. 


Another year of success has passed for 
the members of G. A. A. Libby Furnish, 
vice-president; Jerilynne Layer, secretary; 
Kathy McKnight, president; Joyce Black- 
burn, sports head; and Gerrie Kopko, 
treasurer, are summing up the activities 
of the year by figuring out the number 
of credits earned by each of the members. 


Couples dance to theme ‘Hawaiian Twilight’ 


at GAA semiformal 



There seems to be plenty of activity at the regular Wednesday meeting of the G. A. A. 
The center of attraction on this particular night appears to be volleyball. Getting this 
ball over the net could be the turning point or climax of the game for Janet Kraft, Elizabeth 
McLachlan, and Pat Zickuhr.

DEBUTEENS 

PRESIDENT - SUSAN SHONE 
JUNIOR VICE PRESIDENT- JANET JONES 
SOPHOMORE VICE PRES - LINDA MILLS 
SECRETARY- KAREN WARD 
TREASURER - CAROL SCHMELTER 

Calling all girls ! Calling all 
girls ! Are you interested in im- 
proving your social poise and 
working with others Then Debu- 
teens is the club for you. Debs 
plan and participate in many 
social activities. The annual semi 
formal, this year's "Sweetheart 
Swirl" held February 1 in the K 
of C Ballroom, was the biggest 
event sponsored by the Debu- 
teens. 

The Debs also sponsor such 
drives as Bundle Drive, Carna- 
tions for Cancer Day, and this 
year they contributed to the 
Polio Fund. 



Planning activities for the Debuteens Club is no easy task; however, these executive council 
officers seem to enjoy their jobs as they plan for the Style Show. From left to right are: 
Carl Schmelter, treasurer; Karen Ward, secretary; Susan Shone, president; Linda Mills, 
sophomore vice-president; and Janet Jones, junior vice-president. 


Debs semiformal, honor banquet, and style show hi-lite the year 



"Spring Forecast of Fashion", theme of the third annual Mother-Daughter Style Show and Tea, was presented 
by the Debuteens Club. 

The lastest fashions were chosen to be modeled; from party dresses to lounging pajamas, there was some- 
thing to flatter every girl. It was a new experience for some, and a wonderful opportunity for all who where 
chosen to model. Marge Banaski, Donna Shannon, Sheryn Frazier, and Mary Martin were four of the twelve 
lucky models.

Brickie Buttons — to boost our teams — 
were sold by the Booster Club this year. 
The money raised went toward financing 
the cheerleader's outfits and other ex- 
penses. Judy Freeland, vice-presedent, 
and Pat Evans, president, set a good ex- 
ample by purchasing their buttons from 
members Violet Guess and Carol Potts. 



Boosters’ first card section makes debut at Gary Roosevelt game 



The Brickies must be on their way to another victory ! At least that's the way it appears 
from the happy looks on the faces of these Booster Club members. They are the girls who 
have faithfully followed our football, basketball, and track teams through their '57-'58 season. 


BOOSTERS CLUB 

PRESIDENT - PAT EVANS 
VICE PRESIDENT -JUDY FREELAND 
SECRETARY -VIVIAN SELBY 
TREASURER - CAROL KANE 

Do you have your Booster But- 
ton? The selling of these pins 
to raise money and at the same 
time promote school spirit, was 
one of the biggest projects of 
the Booster Club this year. The 
club also sold miniature cheer- 
leader and football player dolls. 

For two of the home football 
games, a card section was form- 
ed. Hobart was spelled out in 
purple with a white background. 
The Boosters wore white blouses 
and formed a block for many of 
the basketball games.

CHEERLEADERS 

Victory ! Victory ! That's our 
cry It is indeed the cry of not 
only the Cheerleaders represent- 
ing Hobart High but of the en- 
thusiastic students who follow 
them in this yell and many more. 

There are five varsity, five re- 
serve, and three substitute cheer- 
leaders whose selection is based 
on their poise, rhythm and ac- 
tions. The girls trying out are 
screened by a chosen committee. 
Fourteen of these girls are se- 
lected by the committee to per- 
form before the entire school. 
The student body then casts the 
final vote. 



Joann Clemens, Doris Novotny, Gerrie Kopko, end Gloria Suarez, the Varsity cheerleaders, 
have a right to look happy after cheering for one of the highest ranking football teams in 
the state and also, one of the most promising basketball teams — the Brickies of HHS, of 
course I Not shown: Charlotte Banker. 


Cheerleaders leading students in yells urge teams on to victory 



Pep and enthusiasm described this year's re- 
serve cheerleaders very well. Sandy Lea, Martha 
Hartman, Ruth Marconi, Carol Crawley, and 
Gwen Welch cheered their reserve football and 
basketball teams on to victory in their '57-'5 8 
season. 


Janice Eaton, Cindy Ballog, and Sharon Campbell served as 
this year's substitutes for the varsity and reserve cheerleading 
squads. These girls cheered at basketball and football games 
when the regular cheerleaders could not attend.

ART CLUB 



President— Suzanne Seed 
Vice President— Steve Rice 
Treasurer— Sally Adams 
Secretary— Marge Cisman 

Don't be a droodeler ! Learn to 
draw. This is one of the many 
cries which instilled enthusiasm 
in students to learn more about 
art. The Art Club was reorgan- 
ized this year to foster interest in 
art among the students of Hobart 
High. 

The annual trip to the Art Fair 
was planned to increase the mem- 
ber's knowledge of art. The Art 
Club's project of making enam- 
eled jewelry proved to be very 
worth-while. 


Art work can really be fun I This is quite evident from looking at the happy smiles on 
the faces of these Art Club members. As Suzanne Seed explains the fine points of the 
picture, Brian Skogler, Steve Rice, Anna Sulie, and Peggy Rosenbaum look on. 


Students interested 


in art and dramatics reorganize the clubs 


DRAMATICS CLUB 
President— Sheryn Frazier 
Vice-President— Kathy McKnight 
Secretary— Dee Ballantyne 
Treasurer— Gloria Suarez 

Dramatics Club is back to stay, we 
hope. This is the feeling of many 
Hobart High students toward this 
newly reorganized club. 

Each member has a real interest 
in drama; whether it be acting, prop- 
erty work, make-up, stage tech- 
nique, or just wishing to be behind 
the scenes, there is a place for every- 
one. Two successful plays were pre- 
sented by the Club this year to var- 
ious groups. 



Dolly Tsacrios has made a petition to be used for her role in "The Trouble with 
Mothers". Peggy Tucker and Mary Kay Berg find this quite interesting. 

Pat Workman is ready to prompt these members of the cast.

FUTURE TEACHERS OF AMERICA 
President— Joyce Burke 
Vice-President— Pat Wood 
Secretary— Violet Guess 
Treasurer— Betty Edgington 

The Future Teachers of America 
is a service club — service to the 
teachers and other students. The 
members take over classes in the 
high school, junior high, and the 
elementary schools. 

The main activity of FTA is to 
help at Back-To-School-Night. The 
members assist the parents and 
teachers in every way possible. 


Violet Guess looks over reports handed 
in by the delegates, John Batzel, Wanda 
Andrews, Gloria Callaway, and Kathy Mc- 
Knight, who attended the Northern Indiana 
Convention for FTA members. The pur- 
pose of the convention was to nominate 
officers for this area. John was nominated 
for Vive-President. 


FTA, FBLA members learn more of possible future professions 


FUTURE BUSINESS LEADERS 
OF AMERICA 

President— Johanna Nolcheff 
Vice-President— Rita McDonald 
Secretary— Margaret Neill 
Treasurer— Pat Yurchak 

Through the activities of the mem- 
bers of the FBLA Club, all "future 
business leaders" get an inside 
glance into the business world. Any 
student planning to make a career 
in business is urged to join FBLA. 

The members met and talked to 
many leading businessmen of Ho- 
bart and the surrounding area. They 
also took field trips to some of the 
leading manufacturing companies. 
The National Convention in April 
for all Future Business Leaders of 
America brought the year to a suc- 
cessful close. 



Johanna Nolcheff, Deanna Maxwell, and Marilyn Oswald, members of FBLA, want 
to earn their way to the annual business convention. How ? Grading papers. By 
grading papers for teachers they earn points so that they may attend the convention. 


37 




USHERS CLUB 

The Ushers Club is quite dif- 
ferent than any of the other or- 
ganizations at H. H. S. They 
have no special activities or 
means of providing entertain- 
ment; their main purpose is the 
reserving of seats, paid for in 
advance, at certain school events 
and to conduct the people to 
their seats. 

This is not so small a task as 
it may sound, and the boys in 
Ushers Club render a much need- 
ed service. You will always find 
the members polite and ready 
to help. 


These are the boys who are seen at Hobart High's social functions, helping people to 
their seats. The parents of the football players agree that the ushers are really tops when 
it comes to finding their reserve seats at the games. 

First row: Jim Blackburn, Ken Schroeder. Second row: Phil Gerard, Herb Peterson, Glen 
Palmer. 


Ushers, Audio-Visual render services to students and faculty 



AUDIO VISUAL 

Audio Visual is one of the 
service clubs here at Hobart. The 
club holds meetings in the fall 
only as long as it takes those 
wishing to belong to learn how 
to operate the equipment. Class 
schedules of all members are 
printed and given to the teach- 
ers. The boys can be called uopn 
at any time by a teacher to set 
up the projector and run a movie 
that they may want shown to 
their class. 


Although the Audio Visual Club is known for helping teachers show movies, learning about 
tape recorders is another objective of the club. Demonstrating their ability to operate this 
tape recorder are Floyd Rogers, Harold Erwin, Marvin Manteuffel, Jon Howard, and Bob Haas.

FUTURE HOMEMAKERS OF 
AMERICA 

President— Lydia Strouse 
Vice-President— Gail Jenkins 
Secretary— Arlene Sayka 
Treasurer— Lucille Schultz 

A true display of enthusiasm 
has laid a foundation for a more 
sound and advanced FHA at Ho- 
bart High. This year the club 
had the honor of joining the Na- 
tional Association. This accomp- 
lishment has enabled the club 
to attend lectures, style shows, 
and other planned programs at 
various surrounding universities. 

Its own activities include an 
annual bake sale, helping the 
Debuteen Clubs on Carnation 
Day, and each member is re- 
sponsible for a project each se- 
mester. 





Lydia Strouse, president of the Future Homemakers of America, has just completed her 
semester project. Dione Pflughoeft, Ernestine Seaman, and Gail Jenkins all seem to agree 
that Lydia should be very proud of her work. 

A semester project is required from each member of FHA.

Secretary— Dolores Kramer 
Treasurer— Pat Yurchak 

Whether hunting for reference 
material for English or looking 
for a good novel to read, there 
is always a girl from the Librar- 
ian's Club to help find it. The 
purpose of this club is to supply 
the students and faculty with the 
books and reading material de- 
sired. 

The Librarians have a clean- 
up party every six weeks when 
the cleaning and arranging of 
the books are done. The initia- 
tion, Valentine party, and Sen- 
ior Farewell are the social events 
of the year. 


Dust the books I Arrange the books I Read the books ? The members of the Librarians 
Club have many clean-up parties in order to keep the library in good condition. 

These girls really don't mind this tedious task that was assigned to them. From left to

SCIENCE CLUB 

PRESIDENT -NORMA HILL 
VICE PRESIDENT -JUNE LA FEVRE 
SECRETARY -MELISSA RITENOUR 
TREASURER - BRENT DICKSON 

Are you aware of all the im- 
portant events taking place in 
the scientific era we are living 
in? What is the whole story be- 
hind "sputnik"? Well you can 
learn all these things and more 
by becoming a member of the 
Science Club. 

This year the club saw films 
on atoms and other scientific 
subjects heard reports on skin 
diving the I. B. M. machine, and 
unidentified objects. They also 
took a field trip to the Museum 
of Science and Industry. 



Can you imagine what these "enthusiastic science patrons" are up to now? Well, there 
isn't the slightest hint of an idea in evidence, but whatever it may be Brent Dickson, June 
LaFevre, Marge Prentiss, and Norman Hill seem to know what to do. 

The Science Club sponsors field trips to increase the members' knowledge of science. 


Target practice, field trips, head Boys’ and Science Clubs events 



BOYS' CLUB 

PRESIDENT -GIB ROBINSON 
VICE PRESIDENT -CHUCK LAKE 
TREASURER- ARNIM WHISLER 

The Boys' Club is now in its 
third year of existence at Ho- 
bart High. It was organized in 
order to arouse the interest of 
boys in various sports and act- 
ivities. The main activity is tar- 
get shooting. Boys who qualify 
receive a badge and a Ranger 
Rating in the National Rifle As- 
sociation. Target shooting is 
practiced in the basement of the 
Hobart branch of the Gary Na- 
tional Bank. The boys also see 
various movies concerning out- 
door life. 

An all-day outing was enjoy- 
ed this spring by many of the 
members. 


Following Mr. Hunt's instructions proves to be quite effective. Terry Lee seems to know 
exactly what to do. Observing Terry's technique are Bob Rieck and Bob Rans. The mem- 
bers of Boys' Club have the opportunity to learn about rifles and to practice target shooting.

SPANISH CLUB 

PRESIDENT — BARBARA GILBERT 
VICE PRESIDENT -LARRY JOLIFF 
SECRETARY - SUE REMUS 
TREASURER - SHARON FIFIELD 

Pizza at a Spanish Club party? 
Yes, due to a mix-up in arrange- 
ments, the club turned "Italian"! 

The Spanish Club's puproses 
are to acquaint its members with 
each other and to introduce the 
ancient European country's cus- 
toms to the interested club mem- 
bers. In so doing, a colorful and 
meaningful picture of Spain is 
presented. 

So you see, the Spanish Club 
is not only educational but is 
also a social organization. It 
is open to all Spanish students 
who want to take part in it and 
its activities. 


"Caramba I EspanoE es un lingua muy dificil," says Nelson Lemon to Elaine Plotkin and 
Marilyn Oswald, as they cram before going into Spanish class The second year students 
belong to the Spanish Club in which they learn about the ancient customs of Spain. Planning 
picnics and other activities are a part of the Spanish Club, too. 


Foreign language clubs practice Roman and Spanish customs 


LATIN CLUB 

PRESIDENT- JIM MAZEPA 
VICE PRESIDENT-MARY KAY NETZHAMM 
SECRETARY - BARBARA BURDEN 
TREASURER - MARIAN FRASECK 

America isn't the only country 
in the world we know, but many 
people never have a chance to 
visit other countries. The stud- 
ents belonging to the Latin Club 
learn more about the cultural 
background and customs of the 
Romans. This adds variety to 
the study of Latin. 

IO SATURNALIA, the annual 
supper for all Latin students, was 
held on December 19th. This is 
the big social event of the Latin 
Club. 

In April, all Latin Clubs in the 
state may attend the Junior Clas- 
sical League Conference at But- 
ler University. 


The 1957-58 Latin Club carried on their tradition this year by giving their annual presenta- 
tion of the "Golden Apple" at IO-SATURNALIA. Some members of this year's cast are 
shown above. Dale Sanow, Annabelle Stafford, Mary Lou Maurer, Darlene Crowder, Kath- 
erine Karageorge, Carole Vygrala, Gerry Mopes, Sandra Bryson, and John Johnson.

Doug and Mary's ability combined with the editorial staff's and the reporters' cooperation 
and ability made this year's Ho-Hi Life what it was. 


HO HI LIFE 

What, when, where, why, and 
how— that's what the Ho-Hi Life 
strives to answer about all 
events taking place in Hobart 
High throughout the school year. 
This is accomplished by a cap- 
able editorial staff and a corps 
of cub reporters. 

Each semester a new editor- 
in-chief is elected. This year the 
two persons receiving the honor 
were Doug Spangler and Mary 
Martin. 

Under the supervision and 
guidance of their sponsor, Mr. 
DonSmall, the 1958 Ho-Hi Life 
staff publishes 16 tri-weekly edi- 
tions of our eight-page school 
newspaper.

“Meet that deadline!” Famous last words to staff as time runs out 



Is your section ready to 
go to press ? It seemed like 
the answer was always no; 
but finally everything was 
completed and everyone 
could relax once more. 

The yearbook is published 
annually, giving the students 
a reference to the events of 
the school year and recalling 
many memories. Many hours 
hours go into the prepara- 
tion of a book of this sort. 
The editor-in-chief along 
with the senior editors, ad- 
vertising staff, business staff, 
and photographers are the 
industrious workers who 
make MEMORIES as fine and 
delightful as possible. 


Looking over an old yearbook from another school is a refreshing change at times. But the 
topic of discussion alw saycomes back to the Hobart yearbook. Violet Guess, editor-in-chief; 
Jennie Speer, business manager; Dave Flinn and Bob Etter, advertising managers, talk about 
the huge task of getting MEMORIES to the press. 



Peggy Rosenbaum, art editor, 
seems puzzled about something as 
she points out a placement on the 
dummy copy of MEMORIES to Mary 
Sue Miscko, underclass editor; Betty 
Edgington, faculty editor; Judy Fer- 
kinhoff, clubs editor; and Lydia 
Strouse, picture editor. 


These senior editors of the 1958 MEMORIES, look on as Jocelyn Hahn, copy editor, is busily 
trying to meet a deadline. 

They are pictured here from left to right: Sue Remus, activities editor; Elaine Bielewich,

"Wish there weren't so many pictures left to be taken I" It's 
nearing the end of the year and Dick Gerlich seems to be voicing 
this sentiment as he frowns at the camera. Hours of printing, 
developing, and snapping pictures were put in by these boys to- 


ward the editing of this year's MEMORIES. Those looking on and 
who seem to agree whole-heartedly with Dick are Paul Bartz, 
Gordon Anderson, and Larry Schaefer. Not shown: Lyle Hatten.

"The work is nearly over," might be the thought behind the 
smiles of Jocelyn Hahn, secretary-treasurer, and Susan Shone, who 
was president of the conference this last year. The vice-president 
was Diane Porter from East Chicago Washington, where the con- 
ference will be held next year. Susan and Jocelyn, with the help 
of many girls and sponsors, had to plan the program, obtain a 
speaker, and send letters of invitation to participating schools in 
Lake County. 


Lake County Girls’ Conference 


Hobart presented "The New Look" 
at the 1958 Lake County Girls' Con- 
ference, and it wasn't the newly- 
styled chemise that gave this talk 
its name. Miss Meyers, the guest 
speaker, told the girls attending the 
conference to take on a new look 
by looking at the brighter side of life 
and people. 

Four hundred and forty-three girls 
from twenty-two Lake County high 
schools were in attendance. The only 
boy at the conference was Dick Ger- 
lich, Hobart High School mayor, who 
welcomed the girls on behalf of the 
boys of Hobart. 

The day's agenda featured Miss 
Meyers; discussion groups with such 
topics as make - up, marriage and 
school extra - curricular activities; a 
luncheon; and entertainment which 
included group singing, a style show 
presented by Calumet High School, 
and solos by Judy Boyd of Hobart 
and Marian Rhodes of Merrillville.

"Look for the good points of people," stated Miss Meyers. As 
head of the personnel department of General Electric, Miss Meyers 
told of her many experiences with people and also said that you 
can find many good points in everyone. 


Dick Gerlich, as Mayor of Hobart High School, spoke a few brief 
words of introduction and welcomed all the girls to the 19th annual 
Lake County Girls' Conference. He made the statement, "I speak 
in behalf of all the boys in Hobart."

Judy Bjerkness looks at Dale Beach in surprise as Dale hands

Look what we have here ! Hobart High School now has a school 
flag which was purchased by the student council with the help of 
the many school clubs. The flag is to be raised at all football 
games beneath the American flag. 

Dot Ahlgrim and Phyllis Fiorantin look on with pride at our 
school's symbol.

From the looks on the faces of these Chess Club members, some- 
thing very amusing has just happened. However, once a game 
gets underway there is no time for smiles; the members play with 
a steady concentration that makes for a good game. Seated at 


the table are Bill Nowak, Peter Winske, Marvin Manteuffel, secre- 
tary; Harold Redar, and Ed Kupec. This club was newly organized 
this year, and Jim Mazepa was elected to the presidency.

We Saw, We’ll Never Forget . . . 


It can truthfully be said that this year we had a 
superb sports record set for our school. 

Mr. Kurth, Athletic Director, saw his dream become 
a reality when the 1958 X-Country team won the State 
Championship at Indianapolis. 

Equal praise and congratulations go to our great foot- 
ball team and coach who came through the season with 
nine wins and one loss, and to our basketball, baseball, 
and track teams and coaches who have earned a fine 
reputation. 

We students can really be proud when we say "We're 
from Hobart I"

HARRIERS UNDEFEATED STATE CHAMPIONS 

A dream of twelve years became a reality for 
Coach Frank Kurth and his harrier athletes when 
they annexed the 12th Annual Indiana High School 
Athletic Association Cross Country State Champion- 
ship in Indianapolis on Saturday morning, Novem- 
ber 2, 1957. The state championship was the first 
team title for Hobart in school history. 

The Brickie harriers approached the state meet 
with a perfect record string of eleven victories and 
needed only the state title to stamp themselves as 
one of the finest groups of Hoosier schoolboy run- 
ners to race over hill-and-dale in the gruelling 2- 
mile test of athletic stamina. Challenging the Ho- 
Hi runners in the classic state meet were the peren- 
nial harrier hings of Anderson with 7 titles, Indian- 
apolis Shortridge 2, and Muncie Central 1. All three 
teams were highly regarded hopefuls for a 12 crown. 

Taking Hobart into the title throne room of the 
IHSAA were co captains Don Hancock and Dick More- 
house, seniors; Ray Isakson, Dwain Crisp and Windell 
Claxton, Juniors. This five-some, groomed in long, 
hard workouts by Coach Kurth, dedicated their 
championship hopes on the trip home from their 9th 
place finish in 1956. Building poise and determina- 
tion in summer training and confidence with an un- 
beaten record of regular scheduled meets, they were 
set for their title dream. All their hard work paid 
off when the scores were counted and the Hobart 
total of 87 points was low for the championship

Morehouse, Don Hancock, Dwain Crisp, Ronald Morton, Jim Meade. 

title. Muncie Central's 1 1 1 points was second and 
Indianapolis Shortridge was third with 123. 

Official times and place finishes of the Brickie 
quintet of scoring runners in the title showdown were 
as follows: Don Hanocck, 9:56.4 (3rd); Dick More- 
house, 10:04 (11th); Dwain Crisp, 10:17 (22nd); Ray 
Isakson, 10:18 (23rd); and Windell Claxton, 10:28 t 
(28th). Jim and Jack Meade, Hobart 6th and 7th 
runners, whose point totals were not counted, placed 
65th and 71 st. 

The feat of galloping through all their meets dur- 
ing the 1957 season for the unblemished record 
ranks as an all-time athletic achievement in the an- 
nals of Hobart sport history as a credit to desire and 
determination of the 1957 harriers. 

Hobart's other near state championship efforts 
came in 1955 for a second place rank and in 1954 
and 1950 when third place finishes were registered. 

Don Hancock's individual record times for the 
season marked him as the top Hobart harrier of all 
time with his sub-ten-minute clockings. His best 
effort of 9:34.1 now stands as the cross country rec- 
ord, replacing his 9:53.0 mark in 1956. 

Dwain Crisp, Ray Isakson and Windell Claxton 
remain as tri-captains for a powerful nucleus in an- 
other title attempt next year. Jim Meade, Ronald 
Morton, Jim Marler, and Rex Bell, varsity point scor- 
ers and major letter winners, should offer strong sup- 
port in moving into the vacated spots of senior co- 
captains, Hancock and Morehouse.

As the Brickies hit the hot burning sands in the 
dust bowl on August 15, they knew it would take 
a great team to equal the team of '56, who won 8 
and lost 1. The sun was blazing as the double-day 
practices, 5 days a week, began. The workouts 
clicked by, on toward the Whiting Oilers and the 
start of a great season. 

The Brickies opened the season with the Whiting 
Oilers on the Brickies' own turf. The stands were 
packed as the mighty Brickies started off the season 
with a bang and a 20 to 7 win over a good Oiler 
team. 

The Tornados of Emerson as usual came up with 
another good and rough team. But the Brickies again 
proved their ability as a rough Hobart team and 
shut-out the Tornados 19 to 0, on what looked and 
felt like a foot-deep mud field.

fighting Hobart team rolled off a 32 to 13 win and 
the Brickies charged on, undefeated. 

For the first time in the history of the school, the 
Brickies played for "Dad's Night" against the Pan- 
thers of Gary Roosevelt. At the half-time the Brickies' 
Dads weren't too happy, the Brickies trailing 2 to 0. 
But they came back for their Dads, Coach Deal and 
the roaring crowd behind them when they cracked 
the Panthers 13 to 2. 

The Brickies were feeling high for the Homecoming 
Game with the Crown Point Bulldogs. They dug in 
hard, but the Bulldogs proved they weren't a push- 
over as the Brickies eased by 20 to 7 for 5 wins in 
a row. 

After being hit with the Asiatic flu, the Brickies 
came back to take a rousing win of 33 to 13 over 
the Tigers of Hammond Tech. This gave the Brickies 
6 in a row.

The Brickies traveled to Michigan City on a muddy, 
sloppy, and slippery night. The Red Devils received 
the opening kick-off and scored for a 7 to 0 lead. 
But the fighting Brickies sparked back to make it a 
fighting win of 22 to 1 8. 

The Brickie Nightmare came as they met the state 
champions of the year. East Chicago Roosevelt. The 
hail and snow beat down on the two teams but the 
Rough Riders fought to a well-earned 27 to 0 win 
over the Brickie team that just couldn't get rolling. 

The Brickies traveled to Huntington for their final 
game of the year and the last for the Seniors, who 
were lead by Co-Captains Dean Eickstead and Dick 
Gerlich. They put the team at their highest spirit 
of the year to set a new school record that smashed 
the Vikings with a 61 to 6 victory. 



Dick Gerlich, Co-Captain, makes a smashing tackle on a Panther

Brickie Basketball Team once more improves upon preceding 


The Hobart Brickies, who last year won six games 
and lost fourteen, improved their record somewhat 
this season by winning seven and losing thirteen 
games. This year's varsity team was unusual be- 
cause there were no seniors on it. It consisted of 
nine juniors and one sophomore. 

The team started off the season with three disap- 
pointing losses. The first one was to Bishop Noll, 
67 to 45 the second was to Hammond Clark, 61 to 
43; and the third to Lew Wallace by one heartbreak- 
ing point, 55 to 54. 

Then came our first win of the season. We de- 
feated East Gary Edison on our own floor with a 
score of 54 to 44. Next, the Brickies met the Merrill- 
ville Pirates. Once again they were beaten by a 
one point margin, 39 to 38. We followed this up 
with our second victory which was over Gary Emer- 
son. We racked up a winning score of 66 to 47. 

With the Christmas holidays came the Merrillville 
Tourney in which Hobart lost their two games; the 


first to a good Calumet team, 50 to 30, and the sec- 
ond to Merrillville again, 54 to 53. The Brickies 
then went into the Portage Tourney which they won 
by defeating East Gary Edison, 62 to 49, and Ham- 
mond Morton, 52 to 44. Another win came when 
we defeated Crown Point on their floor with a lead 
of 14 points, 71 to 57. 

Another losing streak ca meour way at this time 
and we lost four straight games: Lowell, 72 to 71; 
Wirt, 55 to 47; South Bend St. Joe, 72 to 47; and 
Griffith, 79 to 68. 

Our last win of the season came when we de- 
feated East Gary Edison for the third time this year 
in a close and hard-fought game; the score was 
72 to 70. 

The Brickies fell back somewhat this year in sec- 
tional play and lost their first game to Horace Mann, 
who was rated as one of the top fifteen teams in 
the state.

SECTIONAL CHAMPIONS, TRACKMEN POST 
BANNER YEAR 

Undefeated in their first nine outdoor meets of the 
season. Brickie Trackmen successfully hurdled their 
first obstacle to state championship honors by ringing 
up their first sectional championship in history as 
they copped the Gary IHSAA sponsored meet with a 
title aggregate of 34 points. Gary Froebel with 32 
points was runnerup, Gary Roosevelt took third with 
28 points in the 17 school meet. 

Dominated over a period of 51 years by Gary 
schools, Brickie trackmen after being close to the 
title for several years, finally harbored their first 
track and field championship sectional meet for 
Coach Frank Kurth who has kept the Brickies near 
the pinnacle of title hopes for 18 years. 

Ending the Gary reign of sectional championships 
with their 34 point total were the following athletes: 
Terry White, victor in the 100 and 220 yard dashes, 
10 points; Don Hancock winner of mile run, 5 points; 
Chuck Vigland and Bill Lane tie for first in high 
jump, 5Vi points; Dave Jordon and Bob Gravel tie 
for first in pole vault, 5Vi points; Scott Wilson's fourth 


place in broad jump, 1 point; Dean Eickstead's fourth 
in 440 yard dash, 1 point; and Terry White, John 
Stephens, Scott Wilson and Dean Eickstead, second 
place in 880 yard relay, 6 points. 

Rolling along in outdoor competition for an un- 
defeated season in regular scheduled meets, the 
Brickie thinclad athletes added trophies to their long 
list in the crowded trophy case with victories in the 
18th Little Five Meet, the 3rd Culver Relays, the 26th 
Delphi Relays and the 3rd Hobart Relays. The sec- 
tional triumph climaxed the long sought after award. 

This year's squad, powered mostly by junior letter- 
men, could surpass the outstanding achievements 
turned in this spring when they round out their ath- 
letic careers as seniors in 1959. Seniors doing their 
part for the great success in recording the 1958 vic- 
tory skein include Scott Wilson, Bob Gravel, Dean 
Eickstead, Don Hancock and Dick Morehouse. 

Underclassmen are honorary captain Terry White, 
Dave Jordon, Jim Meade, Jack Meade, Chuck Vig- 
land, Bill Lane, Ronald Morton, Dwain Crisp, Ray 
Isakson, John Stephens, Windell Claxton, John Mol-

We’ll Never Forget . . . 


It is people that make up our life here at Hobart. It 
is people that cram our crowded halls and locker rooms; 
it's people who plan and participate in our activities; it's 
people who set the sports and scholastic records; and it 
is pepole who set the traditions here at Hobart High. 
Who are all these people? They are all of us who go 
here now, those who came before, and those who will 
follow. 

We can truthfully say, 
forget."

high school career — Last commencement held in Brickie Bowl 



"Hey, what dates are left open?" asks Judy Zimmerman as 
Jocelyn Hahn and Glenn Smith make use of the locker room bul- 
letin board to sign up for their Senior picture appointments with 
Victor Studios. 


"I get that old feeling" — Christmas feeling that is — seems 
to be the theme of this group of Senior girls as they decorate the 
school tree. Adding that "magic touch" are Libby Furnish, Martha 
Fetterer, Pat Wood, and Carol Schmelter. 


Sweatshirt Day found these Seniors "adorn- 
ing" their locker room. On the lockers are 
Carol Kane, Bruce Lambert and Karen Ward. 
Standing are Judy Ferkinhoff, Glenn Smith, 
Dorinne Klawitter, Nina Griffiths, Kenny Wil- 
son, and Jocelyn Hahn.

"Twilight Time", theme of the frosh' class party, 
found Dick Pavel and Sharon Ramsey reigning as 
King and Queen. Refreshments, music, and dancing 
helped make the evening a success. 



Refreshments went over big with the freshmen 
at their class party. When only a few empty bot- 
tles and cups remained, the kids decided they had 
had enough and went back to dancing.

Class locker rooms, parties, other events, prove crowded affairs 



The theme and decoration committee for the Prom is shown 
here at one of its noon meetings. Margaret Prentiss, chairman, 
plus members of her committee decided that "Parisian Paradise" 
should be the theme for the "58" Prom. 


The Junior Class sponsored one of the after-game dances held 
in the Roosevelt Gym. With not too much time for elaborate 
decorations and planning, the Juniors felt very pleased since it 
was enjoyed by all those who attended. 



"Spring Fever" was the theme chosen by the Soph's for their 
class party. Shown here are Becky Griffiths, Sally Adams, and 
Judy Freeland, only a few who helped chairman, Larry Rosenbaum, 
get the gym decorated for the big night. 



The Sophomore locker room is surely a buzz of activity at the 
end of a school day. Caught in action are a few of the early- 
birds, anxious to get their belongings and go home after another 
day of school.

Mr. Arlie Kerr, Superintendent of schools, 
has worked hard toward getting a new high 
school for the students of Hobart. The new 
school, which is located near Lake George, 
will be completed by the fall of '58. Mr. Kerr 
received his Bachelor of Science Degree in Edu- 
cation at Ball State Teacher's College and later 
he received his Master's Degree at Indiana 
University. Since that time he has taken ad- 
ditional graduate work at Purdue University. 


Due to constant efforts of Hobart High School Administration, 


During the past year, Mr. Kerr, Superintendent of 
Hobart Schools, with the assistance of the Board of 
School Trustees, has re-evaluated the entire curriculm 
offered to students attending the Hobart chools. The 
object of this reevaluation was to discover ways of 
improving what is being taught and eventually im- 
proving how it is being taught. 

One of the biggest projects of these administrators, 
of course, was the making of final plans toward the 
completion of the new high school building located 
on 10th Street near Lake George. Earlier this year 
a contract was signed with the Boyd Construction 
Company to install a strom sewer and also to level 
and fill in the area east of the structure. All the 
new furniture and equipment that will be needed in 
the new building has been purchased and it will be 
ready for occupancy at the beginning of the school 
year of 1958. 

Another step taken toward improving building 
facilities of the schools in Hobart was the addition 
of six classrooms at Ridge View School. Also, a sur- 
vey was taken to find out whether Hobart could 
qualify for federal assistance in converting part of 
this, the old high school, into a junior high building. 


There are committees now working toward the re- 
vision of the report cards that are given to students 
in elementary, junior, and senior high schools. It 
is not yet known when the results of their work will 
be completed and compiled. 

A new class on public school finance and budget 
procedure was organized this year for teachers and 
was taught by Mr. Kerr. This was to help the teach- 
ers understand more about the financial background 
of schools, Hobart schools in particular. 

The School Board and Mr. Kerr placed their ap- 
proval on the new seventy minute periods which 
were first tried here at Hobart this year. These 
longer periods have proved, in many cases, to be 
very successful. 

We know that in these few paragraphs we have 
only scratched the surface of the accomplishments 
and the many efforts that have been put forth this 
year by the School Board and Mr. Kerr. We hope, 
however, that we may have given you some idea of 
the work that is always being done behind the 
scenes and of the interest these administrators are 
taking in making the schools of Hobart better for 
you, the students.

Pictured from left to right are the members of the school board. 
They are: Harry Garmong, secretary; Mr. Arley Kerr, Superintendent 
of Hobart City Schools; Verne Elliott; Donald Sporre; Alice Hamil- 
ton, treasurer and Don Robinson, president. These members have 


spent many hours improving the school system and in making Ho- 
bart High a school from which students can be proud to have grad- 
uated. This year they have been kept especially busy in securing 
the final plans and arrangements for the new high school. 


students will 


at last be 


entering new building in fall of ’58 


Mr. Eugene Wise, Director of Pupil Personnel, 
coordinates the attendance for the Hobart City 
Schools which includes the elementary schools, 
public, parochial, junior and senior high 
schools. He supervises the programs in special 
education, such as the home-bound, the ment- 
ally retarded, and those who have speech and 
hearing defects. Also, he represents the schools 
in juvenile court cases pertaining to de- 
linquency and parental neglect. 






During the six years that Mr. Harold Moody has been principal of Hobart High, 
he has worked diligently toward raising its standards and providing the students 
with a wider and more varied curriculum. Throughout the year he sends out 
questionnaires, taking polls of the student body, to discover their opinions on matters 
of importance to the school. These are compiled in the principal's office and the 
result announced over the public address system. 

Mr. Moody holds a Bachelor of Science and a Master of Arts degree and he enjoys 
fishing and watching baseball. 


And thus closes an era 

1957-58 has come and is almost 
gone. 

Gone before it are 80 other years 
of school life in a building erected 
in 1877, twelve years after Lincoln's 
assassination and one year follow- 
ing Custer's last stand. These were 
days before the Wright brothers 
were even thinking about such a 
thing as a "flying machine", before 
Edison invented the electric lamp, 
and before "old - fashioned" radio 
was born. 

Gone before it are thousands of 
boys and girls, growing into adult- 
hood, scattering to all corners of the 
earth, and reaching into fields of 
distinction and honor. Many have 
completed their lives and have 
passed into eternity. 

Now the building, too, has come 
to the end of its life of service to 
Hobart youth and must soon pass 
into oblivion. The high-ceiling rooms, 
the creaky stairways, the old-fash- 
ioned doors and windows, the nar- 


Administrative committee offers guidance and instruction to many 


Miss Dorothy Thompson, Vice-Principal, is in charge 
of all class and student council activities. She is the 
only sponsor of the student council and she helps the 
Mayor and Clerk-Treasurer to prepare the agenda for 
each meeting. This year she was responsible for helping 
the student council plan the Senior Government Day, 
the Leadership Conference, and the Talent Show, all of 
which have become annual events at Hobart High School. 





row, crooked hallways, and the dis- 
mal lights are to be no more. The 
old, favorite places and the haunts 
of many memories of fun and laugh- 
ter will live only in the imaginations 
and memories of those who exper- 
ienced them. 

It is not without a slight twinge of 
sadness that we say, "Goodbye, you 
have served us very well !" 

An now begins an era 

A new, modern, and carefully 
planned million and one-half dollar 
structure on the shores of Lake 
George is rapidly forming into the 
most beautiful building in the City 
of Hobart. With rooms of colorful 
warmth, with wide, spacious hall- 
ways, with the most modern furni- 
ture and equipment, we look for- 
ward with eagerness and excitement 
to the coming years and hope they 
offer golden opportunities to every 
boy and every girl who enters the 

doors of the new 

HOBART SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL 
Harold Moody, Principal 



students each year 


Mr. Marion Bailey, Guidance Director, has done much for the students during the 
years he has been at Hobart High. He sees to it that all freshmen take aptitude, 
personality, and special interest tests to help determine what their objectives will 
be in high school. Besides teaching a government and economics class he advises 
students who need special counseling. He also gives tests to the seniors to see how 
much they have improved during their four years in high school, and he advises them 
on college requirements and in choosing a vocation. 



Mrs. Annabelle Shone, Dean of Girls, uses her wise judgment 
in dealing with the girls' attendance and discipline problems. 
She also teachers a freshman algebra class and is the head sponsor 
of the Debuteens Club. 



Mr. Russell Deal, Dean of Boys, is in charge of the boys at- 
tendance and takes care of their discipline problems. Along with 
teaching a health and safety class he has once again done a fine 
job of coaching our football team.

good condition by able corps of office girls, janitors, and cooks 



Sheila Miller, secretary, and Adele McOmber, bookkeeper, look 
on as the executive secretary, Mildred Lenburg, continues working. 
These girls are kept constantly busy while working in the super- 
intendent's office which is the center of activity of the Hobart 
City School. 



Pictured is Mr. George Schnabel, Superintendent of Buildings 
and Grounds. The duties of Mr. Schnabel are to see that the 
school grounds and buildings are kept in good condition. He is 
also the overseer of the custodians. 



Mrs. Pauline Mergl, secretary, and Miss Pat Loomis, bookkeeper, 
help keep the high school's business in smooth running order with 
their efficient work. They also assist the students by answering 
their endless questions. 



The cafeteria staff is kept busy preparing wholesome and de- 
licious meals for the Senior High School students as well as the 
Junior High. They are Emma Schrock and Rose Dykhuis. Not

This is the structure in which the approximately 
800 students attending Hobart High School will make 
their new home next year. There will be only the 
sophomore, junior, and senior classes there instead 
of the four that have made up Hobart High in the 
past. 

The Brickie teams and gym classes are especially 
looking forward to the new gym. Besides seating 
as many as 2800 spectators, the new gym will pro- 
vide a better playing floor for our basketball teams 
in future years. Also, it will provide the gym stud- 
ents with boys' and girls' shower rooms and the girls 
will be glad to learn that hair dryers are also being 
installed. 

The classrooms will all be made with space to 
spare, and some, such as the science rooms, will give 
the students a chance to learn and study with the 
finest and most up-to-date equipment. 

In every one of the rooms, acoustical tiling is to 


New Hobart High School building 

be installed. This tile will improve the sound quality 
produced in the class. 

The lighting effects will prove more than adequate 
for the students and faculty as it pours from the 
overhead light fixtures and through the more than 
100 windows of the new building. 

This structure is a far cry from the one in which 
we are now attending classes. Its spaciousness, 
beauty, and conveniences are beyond words. We 
will walk through halls with enough elbow room, 
attend classes with enough seating space, and view 
games with comfort. We shall have reason to be 
proud and respect our new surroundings. 

This new building will give us many advantages 
in helping Hobart High grow in stature and in name. 

We should make use of these advantages to their 
utmost possibilities — it's up to us to add to the 
achievements that Hobart students have made in 
the past.

The young people you see in these pictures are all 
on their way to successful careers in one of America’s 
basic industries . . . steel. They decided (as we hope 
you will decide) to let Inland Steel Company help 
them plan their future. 

Some are gaining knowledge and experience in spe- 
cial trades to become journeyman machinists, car- 
penters or electricians . . . some are concentrating on 
certain phases of steelmaking by working in the open 
hearth shops, the cold rolling mills or the galvanizing 
lines. Still others are working in laboratories building 


a sound foundation for a future in steel research. 

Inland offers the high school graduate an excellent 
opportunity to further his education. Employees may 
participate in a variety of on-the-job training pro- 
grams, or they can continue their formal education 
by registering for evening courses offered by local 
Purdue and Indiana University Extension Centers. 

Plan now to investigate the unlimited opportunities 
for you in steel . . . with the midwest’s own steel 
company . . . INLAND STEEL.
